Session title:
Active inclusion? Experiences and evidence of challenges faced by doctors with disabilities in clinical careers
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
The proportion of doctors with disabilities is lower than in the general population, negatively impacting these doctors and the wider health service which loses doctors with enhanced empathic skills. This panel will draw on on-the-ground experience and published evidence to prompt a conversation about directions for future work.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Learn from the on-the-ground experience of a doctor working with disability in a clinical workplace and the effect on career planning 2. Understand the existing research, drawing on panel members’ research on training and working with disability within medicine 3. Capture wide-ranging perspectives to include policy makers, to help shape the future direction of this work

Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
Following the sharing of both research and experience, the emphasis will be on a panel Q+A to allow attendees the opportunity to raise their own views, discuss specific questions and address concerns. Polling will be used to allow attendees to submit their priorities for future research, which will be collated for dissemination at the end of the session.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to hear from a panel with both on-the-ground experience, in partnership with the Disabled Doctors Network, and knowledge of research evidence of working as a doctor with a disability and to contribute their expertise in directing future directions for this work. For our institutions, this panel discussion draws on interdisciplinary research expertise and clinical experience. For the healthcare community, understanding the challenges faced by doctors with disabilities in education, training and working spotlights the conversation around the wider context of retention of doctors with experience of disability and illness themselves, who could and do contribute significantly to healthcare.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Members of the panel are early career researchers

Session title:
Working within the Global Community – developing Global Health Fellowships in the East of England
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
The EoE Global Health Fellowship (EoEGHF) Programme allows trainees to enhance their training and develop a holistic view of the importance of global health by working within an established partnership with a Low and Middle Income country. Our session with discuss the value to the partners, trainees and NHS.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Improve consistency of global health learning opportunities across the EoE 2. Improve skills, competencies, and leadership development through global fellowships and volunteering for UK fellows and partnership professionals 3. Strengthen health systems and services in England and Partnership organisations

Our session will include a Q&A discussion with the panel and previous global health fellows. Our speakers will demonstrate some of the educational initiatives they have developed, including virtual simulation
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The EoEGHF programmes sit within a wider Fellowship programme for Postgraduate Doctors in Training (PGDiT) which support development of generic capabilities in leadership, management, research & teaching. The EoEGHF programme allows PGDiT to develop this experience whilst working within an established Global Health Partnership as part of their training program. The Global Health Fellowships Volunteer program (GHFVP) is a separate program, offered nationally but delivered through the East of England, appropiate to more junior doctors (deployed out of program at ST/CT3). Together these programs provide a spectrum of opportunity for PGDiT in global health. Enabling the fellows to work globally leads to benefits from improved clinical and non clinical skills, as well as better global connections and understanding of heath in a global context. The experience they bring back can help NHS organisations learn new ways to deliver quality patient care to an increasingly diverse population. By introducing the Fellowship programme we hope to educate a generation of PGDiT to lead on Global Health in the future.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
We will include a presentation from Laura Hobbs who following her Global Health Fellowship is now undertaking a PhD in acute care systems in LMICs, looking at the role of families and communities in the deteriorating patient. She will discuss how the experience she gained allowed her to successfully apply for funding and how she is undertaking a PhD whilst starting as a new NHS consultant.

Session title:
How to Create a Blended Learning Programme.
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
We created a blended learning training programme that yielded blended learning courses with national recognition and taught the basis of course design. This session will aim to demonstrate how we created and run the programme and provide attendees with opportunities to consider how they might develop a similar training programme.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1 – Understanding the role of blended learning in supporting postgraduate medical education. 2 – How to set up a blended learning training programme, including identifying initial steps to successfully develop the programme. 3 – How to identify and overcome potential barriers to developing such a training programme.

Preferred session delivery:

Preferred session format:

Unlimited number of attendees
Yes
Have you presented this in the UK this year?
Yes
If yes, how does your submission build on that work?
We have previously presented the work produced by our fellows in the East of England spring symposium for educators, focusing on the learning materials they created, rather than the design of the training programme. This new session builds on feedback received from the regional presentation, focusing more on the development and content of the training programme itself, whilst highlighting the challenges we needed to overcome to ensure the programme’s continued success.
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
We intend to use a variety of modalities including use of the conference polling app, face to face discussion, small group activities/ breakout areas with feedback and general Q&A to encourage participation. We intend to involve participants in discussions throughout the session; initially to consider the need for this type of training programme, and subsequently explore how they might set up the programme in their respective regions. We will ask participants to use their knowledge of their local learning systems to consider how a new programme could complement existing programmes in their region. We will facilitate discussions around the resources needed and potential barriers to setting up a similar programme and research opportunities. At the end of the session participants will be asked to identify their first steps set up their own blended learning training programme.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The attendees will be able to gain an insight into the benefits of setting up a blended learning training programme and the wider implications in medical education. By informing the healthcare community of how we have set up our programme, we hope to inspire others to create similar programmes in their own regions with the overall aim of advancing and improving wider medical education.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Although this workshop would not directly involve early researchers, we believe there is considerable scope for research into the effectiveness of blended learning in medical education. We have already undertaken a separate evaluation of our current platform with early education researchers and will include information on the findings from this research in the session, whilst highlighting how to embed research opportunities into the programme.

Session title:
Paid NHS roles for medical students: opportunities, practicalities and the evidence base
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
In March 2020, Queen’s University Belfast created Medical Student Technician roles as voluntary, paid opportunities for medical students. Continuing today, the implications of these have been discussed within Northern Ireland and national levels. Drawing on research and personal experience, our panel aims to support other medical schools to replicate this.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Understand the research evidence on paid roles for medical students within the NHS, based on the panel’s published research 2. Learn from the on-the-ground experience of former medical students who were themselves Medical Student Technicians 3. Learn the processes and challenges Faculty experienced on setting up and continuing these roles
Session theme:

Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
After sharing both research and experience, the emphasis will be on a panel Q+A to allow participants the opportunity to have specific questions and concerns addressed.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Attendees will benefit from the opportunity to hear from a panel with both research and on-the-ground personal experience of both setting up the Medical Student Technician role and being a Medical Student Technician. This panel discussion will showcase good practice at Queen’s University Belfast which could be replicated in other institutions. The emphasis on Q+A will allow discussion of the potential challenges that other medical schools could face in setting up similar roles due to their individual circumstances. For the healthcare community, skilled medical students could bring valuable service to the NHS whilst allowing them the opportunity to support both their finances and professional development.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Two of the panel members are early career researches, they led the research and were Medical Student Technicians themselves.

In line with the conference theme of the patient and team involvement in the educational context, attendees will benefit from the opportunity to hear from a panel with both research and on-the-ground experience of the practice of involving Real Patients in OSCEs, something that others may aspire to but be wary of in an assessment environment increasingly dominated by standardisation. For our institution, this panel discussion will build on this work which is a specific Case Study in the Assessment Hub I Queen’s University Belfast. For the healthcare community, a person-focused mindset in Assessment is aspirational for many involved in healthcare and healthcare education, to better reflect the real practice that graduates will work in.

LEEP is accessible to all those working in the NHS, including non-clinical staff, and the activity will demonstrate the rich conversation, where there is reflective learning in vivo on the group task and how the activities are pitched to be inclusive no matter what professional role. We will also provide an overview and FAQs.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Example of a leadership course has taken a modern approach to be inclusive, economic and sustainable. The course can be pitched at all levels of learners, has a model for developing facilitators, is cost effective, has excellent feedback and important learning objectives to refresh the values of inclusivity, compassion and continued quality improvements needed for working in the 21st century NHS.

Session title:
Digital medical education: how to optimise the online learning experience.
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Online education is here to stay, but some are concerned digital medical education risks passive, transmissive teaching, resulting in disengagement. In this session we will cover effective digital communication, key pedagogical models, building community and connection, as well as encouraging active learning and higher order thinking to maximise online learning.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. An understanding of the digital divide and its importance in relation to digital medical education. 2. An awareness of key pedagogical models relating to digital learning. 3. An understanding of how to build community online and the affordances of digital medical education.

Have you presented this in the UK this year?
Yes
If yes, how does your submission build on that work?
I have presented this to multi-professional audiences in my local area, this submission would build on this as it would be received by a national audience, reaching wider than Primary Care. This submission will also include a wider range of pedagogical models than when previously delivered, with a discussion of their practical application in digital medical education.
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
The session starts with a poll which asks delegates to reflect on how they find online, and face-to-face education as a student, and online education as an educator. Two padlet boards are used during the session, firstly to consider ‘difficulties with online learning’, and then towards the end of the session another to consider ‘how to make online learning work in practice’. I will stop regularly for questions, queries and comments.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
DEMEC attendees will benefit as they will gain a greater understanding of the barriers learners and educators face to learning effectively online, and the key pedagogical models underpinning digital learning, this will increase DEMEC attendees skills in designing and planning engaging digital medical education. Such engaging active learning regarding core medical topics, readily accessible online, hopes to improve clinician knowledge and better patient care. Red Whale is well known in Primary Care, this opportunity if I was to be successful, would increase awareness of Red Whale within the wider medical education community.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Many early career researchers will be involved in producing and consuming online educational material, this session will be beneficial as above. They will also be involved in online meetings, many of the concepts and skills discussed in this session have wider sociocultural application to professional digital interactions.

An open discussion will invite comments from attendees to share examples of good practice and we will welcome innovations from the audience on how SPA activities in research and leadership can be developed for all doctors, to reflect the changing workforce and benefit organisations and the demographics they serve. Comments and reflections will be invited from those from all backgrounds including those working in the community, in rural settings as well those in secondary care. In recognition of all we have to learn from non-medical professionals, we will also invite reflections from attendees across multi-disciplinary teams including those in non-medical manager and HR roles. To encourage engagement, we hope to use a roving microphone so the audience can ask questions. We would request that our session is live-streamed to allow for virtual attendees and if possible we would like to use the DEMEC app for polling questions.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
The event provides an excellent opportunity to network with other organisations and share best practices. Attendees will be empowered to share their experience of training and educating the healthcare workforce which will shape the work of the medical regulator. Working with other regulators collaboratively will benefit the healthcare system, and a parallel session or symposium would support this approach.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The GMC continuously looks at how research can inform its work as a regulator and as such, we hope that the data and insights that we collect can inform professionals in those roles. For early career medical researchers interested in promoting a research-active culture in their organisation, this session will provide them with some key actions to equip them for building teams that are engaged in research.

Session title:
Escape rooms in medical education – what, why and how?
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
We created an escape room experience revolving around ophthalmology, dermatology and ENT themes. We want to share our experience and highlight the benefits and flexibility of this mode of teaching and development which can be applied to all training levels in medicine and beyond.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Develop lateral thinking and problem solving abilities using game based learning. 2. Encourage students to link their experience in the escape room to stressful scenarios on the wards and introduce early escalation and teamwork 3. Enable students to identify gaps in their knowledge in whichever speciality your escape room targets

Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
Incorporate hands on activities: Where’s the fun in discussing escape rooms without giving it a go? We would invite our attendees to try our escape room in a broken down format, letting them experience some of the medical speciality puzzles in ENT, derm and ophthal, and discuss how each one was created in an open forum style discussion. We hope this would encourage others to try developing their own escape rooms when considering ways to engage their students. We would encourage discussions about their own specialities and generate their own games which they could create. We hope that this would encourage critical thinking and discussion, and facilitate group interactions to arrive at solutions, ultimately better helping patients at the point of direct care. Technology integration: The rise of artificial intelligence technologies has allowed education content creators to expand their creativity in fantastic ways. We will explain to attendees how we utilsied some aspects of AI to enhance the experience for our students. Q&A sessions and discussions: We would want to allocate time for interactive Q&A sessions and discussions. We hope this would encourage attendees to ask questions, share experiences, and exchange ideas related to escape rooms in medical education. By providing our insights to facilitate discussions, we hope to ensure active participation and engagement. There will also be time factored into the session for questions throughout. Reflection and debriefing: We want to encourage attendees to share their key takeaways and discuss how they can apply the concepts learned in their own teaching or learning environments, and ask for feedback on the session. This promotes active participation and ensures that attendees are actively processing the information presented.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Escape rooms are a novel way of introducing game based learning to medical students. As evidenced by the literature, it can be applied to multiple specialities with a very good outcome. It allows for a method of knowledge consolidation and teaching in a refreshing way. The feedback from students is that they greatly enjoy game based learning and would like to see more of this in the medical curriculum. Correctly utilising this way of teaching can positively impact our medical students and young doctors, and ultimately this will benefit the patient via better care.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
The creators of this escape room are post-foundation doctors and not in speciality training, and as such we believe this project lends itself to research throughout all stages of a person’s research career, particularly those in the early stages. The idea of an escape room can be used in any stage of medical education, from undergraduate to speciality training, and is a fun and novel way of teaching. There is a growing body of literature around gamification, and particularly the use of escape rooms in medical education, and therefore for anyone wanting to delve into research whilst providing an exciting learning environment.

Session title:
What does a Medical Educator need to know about Climate Change?
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
There are many links between Climate Change and Health, and many medical curricula now include Sustainable, or Climate-Smart, Healthcare. With the Health Education and Improvement Wales Sustainability Fellows, this workshop will help you to understand these links, and explore how to support trainees with their learning and quality improvement projects.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1. Learn about the impact of Climate Change on population health, the impact of healthcare on the environment, and the principles of Sustainable Healthcare. 2. Know how to be a more sustainable doctor and medical educator. 3. Feel confident in raising awareness of Sustainable Healthcare and providing support to trainees with achieving their learning outcomes.

We want to use polls at both the beginning and end of the workshop, and we will allow questions throughout. We hope that attendees will contribute to discussions and share their own reflections and ideas regarding the materials covered.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Attendees will be benefited by knowledge and inspiration to take action. They will feel confident to support trainees who may have a passion for sustainability and ideas for improvement, but not know how to implement them. HEIW will benefit from the ideas that we will take away from the workshop ourselves to develop education for sustainable health care. The benefits to the medical/healthcare community are largest, because this is an opportunity to raise awareness of sustainable healthcare amongst a group who may not previously have had the opportunity to learn about it. The benefits of individuals to be working more sustainably and for the NHS to be more sustainable (for both staff and patients) would be huge. There would also be environmental benefits to this information being shared.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
We are all higher specialty trainees in Wales.

Using the Rainbow to Part the Clouds – Reflection to Navigate Greyness
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
We intend to explore our collective understanding of Professional Identity, Reflective Practice and enacted Phronesis (Practical Wisdom). We will outline why this is important for clinicians particularly in dealing with uncertainty. We will share resources and encourage medical educators to draw principles from the interactive session.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
1) Highlight key principles of reflection in developing professional identity and practical wisdom 2) Offer educators new insights for better teaching to develop these characteristics 3) “Greyness” refers to “Dealing with Uncertainty” and requires pedagogical refinement.

Prof Hayden, Prof de Cossart any myself have not yet presented this workshop but will be doing so for ASME July 2023. We have devised an interactive workshop that includes word cloud polling, individual work (short writing task), built up to work in pairs and then small group discussions. We conclude with time for broader Q&A relating to the themes.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Dealing with Uncertainty is essential for clinicians as identified in the research. It is a GMC Outcome for Graduates. It is our observation that this is not tackled with consistency or evidenced based pedagogy when attempting to “teach” it. We feel there is a gap in medical education knowledge and practice and we hope to address that gap by creating safe conversation space and practical tools within this workshop. Each one of the three presenter has considerable expertise in areas relating to professionalism, practical wisdom and the moral mode of practice. We come from various institutions and have to date had influence in propogating these ideas. It is only recently we considered joining forces to come to some unified coherance. Finding ways to help clinicians deal with uncertainty is not only good to deal with real clinical practice and the increasing value conflicts that arise, but it is also beneficial for individual practitioner wellbeing.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
If an early career researcher is defined as being within 8 years of doing a PhD, then I am an early career researcher. I graduated with my PhD in Enacted Phronesis in Medical Practitioners last year (University of Birmingham). We obviously hope to inspire and “sow the seed” for younger medical educators to test these concepts and research the ideas further.

What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Detailed knowledge of medical SAS career pathways are not well known across the medical education community. his session will increase awareness, as well as generating ideas from individuals, organisations and the wider healthcare community on improving the current situation. it is hoped that this will help attendees gain a fuller picture of medical career options , so that career advice to learners can be more comprehensive. There is a wider benefit to the medical and healthcare careers in breaking down grade based silos and fostering more integration across medical and multi professional colleagues.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?
Those attending are likely to be at varying career stages. This si an area under-researched in the medical education field, which would benefit from scientific study.

Session title:
Enhancing generalist skills: a focus on cross-cutting themes
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
We will provide an overview of the four cross cutting themes that exist within the NHSE enhance programme: Wellbeing, Transformative Reflection, Digital and Leadership will be covered through exploration of the resource guides and discussion with experts in each field with focus on how to facilitate learning in these areas.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
To understand how the cross cutting themes provide a foundation and structure for the domains of the enhance programme, and for working in healthcare more broadly. To discuss the ways in which the themes align with current educational needs of healthcare professionals nationally and internationally. To envisage how you could deliver the cross-cutting themes of generalism within your educational context.

From initial entry to the session QR codes will be displayed alongside sustainably sourced resources to allow attendees to review the four cross cutting theme enhance guides whilst the session gets underway. Utilising online polling systems within the introduction we will gain an understanding of the roles of attendees, as well as their desired outcomes. Covering each of the four themes individually, an experienced facilitator will guide the discussion with an expert in the field to align with the audience experience and provide an in depth exploration of some of the most innovative and current topics. The facilitator will be on hand to moderate the online app throughout. Ample time for questions and answers at the end of the session, through both online and face to face methods, will ensure audience members can participate and interact with the panel.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
This offers an invaluable opportunity to discuss the relevance of these themes to the national and global health and social care systems and demonstrate how their integration into education can be achieved. Focussing on cultivating a healthcare workforce that is flexible and able to lead change, that can advocate for patients, act as environmental activists and utilise a range of skills to ensure they remain enthusiastic and empowered in their work will benefit clinicians, services and populations worldwide. With increasing acknowledgement that generalist skills are necessary tools in achieving the aims above, this session will provide those involved in organisation and delivery of teaching and learning with insight into the four cross cutting themes of the enhance programme: the evidence base, syllabus design and exemplars of delivery of the four themes. The presence of experts in the field both equips those designing and delivering education with up-to-date information, and also ensures the wider discourse on this topic continues in a way that benefits the entire healthcare community.

Exploring realist evaluation: NHSE enhance programme
Please provide one paragraph of text limited to 50 words which is a summarisation of your session
Within this session we will explore realist methodology through the lens of the NHSE enhance programme evaluation. We provide a summary of the evaluation findings of this innovative postgraduate educational offer alongside an immersive experience covering the theory of realist methodology, the practical implementation and advice to take forward.
Learning Objectives
Objectives
To understand the concepts of realist evaluation methodology as it relates to the findings of the enhance evaluation, and educational programmes in general. To collaborate with colleagues to explore and analyse the data set from enhance within the structure of realist methodology. To begin to formulate programme aims and theories within the realist methodology model for your own educational programmes

Yes
Have you presented this in the UK this year?
Yes
If yes, how does your submission build on that work?
Having run a small workshop at the Royal College of Physicians medicine conference we gained insight into the benefit of this to a wider audience of educationalist, as well as a need for attendees to have time to put the realist theory into practice. We have therefore collated material from the ongoing evaluation to use as exemplars and developed the session to include group work.
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
QR codes and sustainably sourced copies of the evaluation report will be available for attendees to engage with from arrival at the session. Through a flexible programme design we will then combine plenary style and small group discussion to allow all attendees to both increase their knowledge and share their opinions and experiences. Using two facilitators we will monitor online question submission during the plenary section of the workshop and provide succinct responses in real time. Through exemplars from the enhance evaluation, attendees will have the opportunity to work together, with an experienced educationalist, to formulate CMOs (context-mechanism-outcome) and programme theories that will practically demonstrate the theory discussed at the start of the session. There will then be opportunity for an interactive Q and A to discuss the programmes attendees are involved in, and how this methodology could be applied.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
Given the complex and ever changing national and international healthcare landscape, an ability to respond rapidly to ensure educational programmes are adequate and appropriate for specific contexts is paramount for all involved in facilitating learning. Being equipped with the most appropriate methodology enables effective iteration and improvement of these programmes. Ensuring these skills exist within the community who have a role in design and delivery of learning through increased understanding of the realist methodology, how it explores contexts and offers the ability to include patients, learners, educators and service into the process will benefit all stakeholders. In sharing findings and exploring attendees reactions and opinions to the evaluation findings, the Royal College of Physicians and the enhance programme will gain further invaluable insight into the best and most effective ways to embed and enhance generalist skills within the health and care workforce.

No
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
The session will use multi-modal interaction: 1. Using the polling functions to tap into the audience’s knowledge of what is already being learned/taught to prepare doctors for these aspects of practice and gather their perceptions on where levels of preparedness are stronger or weaker amongst current medical graduates. 2. We will run a Q&A session to share examples good practice and generate/test ideas for how the findings could be embedded into medical education and training to improve graduates’ preparedness for practice. As the groups involved in education and training are expanding, we will be keen to hear from all attendees across the multi-disciplinary team as well as early career doctors.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
• Contribute to attendees’ understanding of the core skills, capabilities, and attributes doctors will need throughout their careers to adapt to the changing doctor-patient relationship and work effectively as part of the future multi-disciplinary teams. • Provide evidence of recent medical graduates’ preparedness for these aspects of practice, highlighting current strength and gaps. • Inform those responsible for planning and delivering medical education and training how preparedness could be improved. • The findings will be pertinent to programmes looking to improve interprofessional education at undergraduate and postgraduate levels and for those responsible for planning supervision of foundation doctors.
If at all, how do you plan to involve early career researchers in your session?

No
Interactivity:
Explain the ways in which you will ensure your session will be interactive/encourage participation from workshop attendees? (polling and Q&A will be enabled via the conference app)
The session will use multi-modal interaction possibly in the form of polling to generate current views/thoughts of the audience with specific questions on aspects of the changes introduced and what they thought worked/didn’t work. This could draw on specific findings from the evaluation to tease out differences between what audience think and what findings will reveal. Researchers can highlight findings from literature review, the analysis of exams and ARCP data and analysis of field interviews. And then highlight implications for future practise and lessons learned to inform any future response to another global force majeure. An open discussion will invite comments from attendees to discuss the findings, their experiences during the pandemic, provide any further insights and any further future implications. As the groups involved in education and training are expanding, we will be keen to hear from all attendees including educational leaders, trainers, doctors in training and those with experiences of other international jurisdictions.
What are the benefits to DEMEC attendees, your institution and/or to the medical/healthcare community?
• Draws on UK-wide evidence to provide learnings on what worked, what didn’t, who were impacted and how – the challenges, the opportunities, adaptations and innovation • Draws on UK-wide evidence to inform future response in the event of another significant global force majeure • Adds to international evidence on the impact of UK-wide changes in response to a global event
